Hematology and serum chemistry values were obtained from 28 male and 22 female stray dogs in Chittagong Metropolitan area, Bangladesh. The goal of the study was to establish reference value for hematology and serum chemistry for these semi wild animals in relation to age, sex, reproductive stage and body condition. No significant differences were found for mean values of hemoglobin, packed cell...

Recent reports have suggested that determination of glycosylated hemoglobin may serve as a clinical aid for long-term blood glucose control in diabetes mellitus. We describe a simple procedure for measuring it by ion-exchange chromatography. Hemolysates were subjected to Bio-Rex 70 chromatographic separation on small columns. Percentages in the normal group ranged from 4.7 to 8.8% of total hemo...

We have developed an HPLC method for measuring carbamylated hemoglobin (CarHb), based on the quantification of valine hydantoin formed from the released NH2-terminal carbamyl valine residue after acid hydrolysis of hemoglobin. In uremia, CarHb is produced by nonenzymatic post-translational modification of the terminal amino group of hemoglobin monomers by isocyanic acid, derived from the sponta...

BACKGROUND Hemoglobin is a frequently obtained test in hospital settings. We analyzed accuracy of a noninvasive device compared to standard laboratory analyzers in a variety of settings. METHODS A noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring device was analyzed for reliability, correlation, precision, and bias. Hemoglobin levels were obtained from standard laboratory and point-of-care hemoglobin analyze...

background:  the hemoglobin disorders constitute the most prevalent group of monogenic disease a findings consis tent with this is a hemoglobin/g variant indicating that the patient has hbd/g trait. hb d/g traits are clinically benign. in this study, the epidemiology of hbd/g was reviewed in a single institution in iran. methods and materials: we conducted the epidemiological study at aliasghar...

background : there has been a rapid increase in cancer among sudanese citizens from 1999 until this year. at least 80% of all patients who undergo chemotherapy will develop anemia as a complication. this inpatient analytical comparative study aims to examine the possible association between hemotoxicity and various chemotherapy regimens in sudanese children diagnosed with retinoblastoma. method...

An increase in the frequency of blood donation among the donor population is liable to result in excessive iron loss and development of iron deficiency anemia. In the majority of blood banks, hemoglobin and/or hematocrit measurements are used as screening tests for the ability to donate blood even though iron stores may be depleted in donors with hemoglobin values above the arbitrarily defi...

Toxicity of the organophosphate, diazinon was studied in grass carp (Cetenopharyngodon idella) weighing 5±1.0g, under static water quality condition at 16°C. Also, some hematological and biochemical variables of fish weighing 50±5.0g were studied 12 hours post-exposing fish to the toxicant at sublethal concentration of 5.6mg/L at 16°C. Values of 18.19, 17.21, 16.68, and 15.13mg/L, were obtained...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Anemia is 1 potential mechanism by which the brain receives inadequate oxygenation. The purpose of this study was to determine in acute stroke patients whether lower hemoglobin values were associated with worse hemispatial neglect. METHODS In 203 subjects, neglect testing batteries were administered within 24 hours of admission for acute right hemispheric stroke. We ana...
